Tori Kelly

Tori Kelly Brief Biography

If you've ever wondered how a song is made, you might want to ask Southern California singer/songwriter Tori Kelly. All you would have to do is take a seat in the music studio and sanctuary she built in her bedroom and watch what happens next. It's there that the 20 year old created "Handmade Songs by Tori Kelly" (self-released May 1, 2012) from scratch, a collection of songs that perfectly blend the accessibility of the girl next door with the depth and skill of of a world class artist.

Tori is a true musical artisan; she started singing at age three and then picked up drums, piano and guitar shortly thereafter. She credits Michael Jackson, Jeff Buckley, John Mayer, India Arie and Beyonce as her musical influences, which are reflected in her soulful pop/rock blend.
